Re: Another Pacer injury tonight - AJ

Last season, everything went really well until the ECFs. Looks like this season is going to be a struggle - especially early.

If we're at 0.500 around Christmas time, will the national media be writing us off as one-year wonders?

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

Re: Another Pacer injury tonight - AJ

On the good side, that gives Freddy a good chance to make a dent in the backup PG rotation.

IIRC, the 1996-97 season started like this, with Rik and Derrick having thier annual 'get out of training camp free' injuries, Workman tearing his ACL during the first week, etc.

There's a reason that's the season we do not discuss.

Re: Another Pacer injury tonight - AJ

Back to the injury to AJ, do any of you guys think that the Pacers might sign a guy to play 3rd point guard for the month or two that AJ is gone?

I don't think the coaching staff is going to believe that Freddy could fill that role. Plus if one of the other two PG's on the team gets injured that Freddie would then become backup PG, I don't think so.

They could either keep a guy that's in camp or sign a guy from somewhere else.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

I don't know about that. It seems that we may have a bigger need in the front court.
